West Ham’s [transfer](https://www.claretandhugh.info/west-ham-transfer-news/) offer for Raphael Onyedika has been described as “concrete,” according to [Sacha Tavolieri](https://x.com/sachatavolieri/status/1937862859423453349)—who seems to be a kind of Belgian version Fabrizio Romano from what I cam gather.
The well-connected ITK has reported that both West Ham and Everton are the most serious bidders so far for the Club Brugge midfielder, who has been linked with a move to East London throughout June. The latest wave of speculation surrounding the 24-year-old Nigerian has certainly caught the attention of the Everton media, with some claiming “advanced talks” are already underway.
Onyedika plays alongside another West Ham target—Ardon Jashari—who is also reportedly attracting interest from AC Milan as reported earlier today.
Described as an energetic midfielder, Onyedika fits the exact profile West Ham desperately need, especially after watching our midfield slog through last season as if they were running in concrete.
Unsurprisingly, he seems to carry the same £25 million price tag as every midfielder **West Ham** have been linked with this summer—whether it’s Yunus Musah, Jashari, or Onyedika himself.
Still, reports of a concrete and serious offer from the Belgian press at least suggest that the club’s recruitment process is finally underway. All we need to do now is find that mystery £25m.
